Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars

When I pumped gas in high school every once in a while one of these Eldorado Sevilles would roll in for fuel and I would gaze at those offset fins and the other Caddy geegaws in incredulous awe.

Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars

I have been partial to 57-59 Fords for a long time because we were a Ford family when I was a young lad. I found pictures online that resemble quite closely the cars we had back then. My personal pics of the actual cars are rare, black and white, and usually out of focus, etc. so these are great substitutes.

We had one like this when I was in grade school.

I learned to drive in one like this.

This is a model, but my first car was a 58 wagon and it ended up looking a lot like this one same color but with chrome reverse rims and basket inserts, redline wide ovals, tinted windows, blacked out grill with the T-bar removed, blacked out rear trim insert, and black pin striping.

I wanted one of these real bad for a time but I would have it yellow, and without the geegaws.

Then my last Ford of that era was a 59 with a 390 that I had while I was in the Navy once I could afford a car again. It looked just like this but no rocker panel trim or luggage rack.

That toothy Olds in Post #46 is too funny.

Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars

That blue and white 56 is a sweet thing.

Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars

Here are a couple of shots of a friends 66 Fairlane. He bought it brand new. He's running a very potent 427. These are pics from a feature he had in Car Craft.

Brother, that is a beautiful ride. Being a family man I am really starting to dig these old wagons. No matter who built them.

Thanks.
Yeah, I had money all saved up to do the suspension on my 59 short fleet. Then I saw this. Now all I have done on my 59 chevy is a new rear bumper. :lol:
